Type scan

[ROOX]

How can you scan by address pool or by type of equipment?

Hello,

You can use the 'Quick add' field in the scanner to add a custom scan task. Please see this page:

https://docs.softinventive.com/tni/user-manual/network-scanning/adding-scan-tasks/#Quick-Add

Here you can find a list of all supported types of tasks and formats that you can add.

For example, to add an IP range, simply add a task in the following format:

192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254

But  can we create a task to scan a particular pool? for exemple, i want scan only server, or switch?

The exact type of each device is detected after the first successful scan. Therefore, it's not possible to scan devices of a certain type if you haven't scanned them before.

On the first scan attempt, you can only select or skip certain scanning methods. This allows you to scan only Windows devices (via SMB or RPC), Unix-based devices (via SSH), various network devices (via SNMP and Telnet) and VMware assets (via HTTPS).

After the first successful scan, you can build a table report, filter your devices by type and then add them to the scanner through the context menu.
